• Fang Ling showed Dou Qin the Bodhi Vajra Pill recipe, learned the pill could strengthen the body but might kill someone unable to withstand its power, and asked her to refine it.
• Dou Qin agreed to refine the pill without payment, and Fang Ling gave her the ingredients; she estimated the process would take seven or eight days.
• Bai Bo told Bai Jiang that Tian Quanzi and his disciple had visited Fang Ling and never come out, and Bai Jiang ordered the White Family to conceal Tian Quanzi's death and treat Fang Ling well.

• Fang Ling used Dragon-Slaying to shatter the shell, and the golden sword soul inside flew into his body and appeared briefly between his brows.

Fang Ling learned that the sword soul he found in amber was Tongyuan and discovered its power after merging it with his Life-Bound Blood Sword.
